If you're looking to beef up your kitchen skills, you can buy inexpensive cooking classes from ChefHangout, and learn tons of recipes over Google Hangouts.

Google Hangouts is the best free group chat we've ever used, and it seems others have taken notice of its awesomeness. ChefHangout lessons take place at different points during the day and cost around $20 a lesson, which isn't bad when you consider that it's only a ten person class. You just search the site by the type of dish you want to create or by category, and after paying for the class, you'll get a list of ingredients so you can head to the grocery store ahead of time.
